Unforgettable safari experience
My friend and I have just finished a 5-day private safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime.
A big part of that was our guide, Edward. Thanks to his experience and knowledge of the parks, we were able to see all of the Big Five. Beyond that, he was always happy to answer our questions, share interesting facts, and make sure we had all the information we needed throughout the trip.
We are coming back home with amazing memories and a much better understanding of Tanzania, its wildlife, and safari life in general.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide and feel very lucky to have had Edward with us for this adventure. Highly recommended!

Excellent safari, great service, smooth transfers, and a helpful guide.
We had a fantastic safari experience from start to finish. The entire trip was very well organised, making it easy for us to relax and enjoy the experience.
Our guide, Dicklack, was knowledgeable and informative throughout the safari, sharing interesting information about the wildlife and surrounding environment. He made a real effort to help us spot the animals we hoped to see, and we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five. He was also considerate when it came to photography, ensuring we had opportunities to get good close-up pictures and checking that we were happy with them before moving on.
The booking process and customer service provided by Deus were excellent. Communication was clear, prompt, and professional from the outset, and he was always available to answer questions or provide clarification whenever needed. This made the planning process straightforward and stress-free.
The transfers to and from the safari were smooth and reliable, helping us feel at ease throughout the trip. The accommodation arranged for us was also very good, with comfortable facilities, attentive service, and a range of food options that catered to different tastes and preferences.
Overall, this was a wonderful safari experience with great organisation, excellent communication, and memorable wildlife encounters. We would happily recommend this team to anyone considering a safari.

what a wonderful trip, I left my heart in Africa
Our guide Martin is an extremely responsible, dedicated and highly experienced veteran safari guide who made our entire trip absolutely wonderful. We even managed to spot all of the Big Five.
The supporting staff were highly responsive both during pre-trip communication and throughout our safari. Although we ran into a few minor hiccups along the way, every single issue was resolved smoothly in the end. I would highly recommend this tour—be sure to book Martin as your guide!

Best driver for Panorama Route and Manyeleti transfer
My partner and I, both 30, had just finished 3 days of early game drives in Manyeleti and were completely wiped out from sleepless nights. Theodore picked us up for the transfer through Panorama Route all the way to Johannesburg.
He was incredibly polite and attentive the whole way. Even though we were dead tired, he kept cheering us up. He stopped at every viewpoint we wanted. The best part: he was super careful to spot animals we hadn’t seen on safari - he actually helped us tick off a few species we’d missed.

A safari dream
Our safari adventure began when we contacted Savannah Woods Safari and from the very first message we knew we were in good hands. Lucy was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. She was incredibly responsive, patient, and helpful, answering all our questions and making sure every detail was taken care of. What impressed us most was that her support didn't stop once the trip started! She continued checking in and helping whenever needed, which gave us great peace of mind.
We chose a 6 days safari trip, covering Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken.
A huge part of that experience was thanks to our guide, Papa John. He is truly exceptional. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife and animal behaviour was remarkable, and his ability to spot animals was nothing short of incredible. Thanks to his expertise, we managed to see all of the Big Five, including a leopard, which many visitors never get to see. He always seemed to know exactly where to be and when, giving us amazing wildlife sightings and fantastic photo opportunities. Beyond that, he was friendly, professional, passionate about his work, and made every game drive enjoyable and exciting.
The Sopa Lodges were also excellent. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious and varied, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable.
We would highly recommend this itinerary, Savannah Woods Safari and especially Papa John as a guide. If you're lucky enough to have him leading your safari, make sure you clear plenty of space on your phone or camera, you'll come home with hundreds of incredible photos and unforgettable memories!
Thank you, Lucy and Papa John, for making our dream safari a reality.
